I can't hear you?
Who are the Ups and the Downs?
Classify the hierarchy of your right wing ideology.
Is it about wealth, class, race, religion?
All of them?
is this a case of "he's trying to make us look bad by having us share our sincere beliefs"?
I just want clarity.
The left is all about a level playing field, the right is about a hierarchy, we get what a level playing field means, tell us more about the hierarcy you envision.
Who's the pharaoh and who lugs the stones in your dynasty?

I tried this once with a “explain your political beliefs” thread, and not a single conservative responded lol. Don’t take it personally they just can’t explain themselves.

I believe in complete equality where each uses their strong points to cover for each others weak points, with one for all and all for one.
Why is it so hard to share your heartfelt beliefs if you are rightwing?
Lay it out for us guys.

Left, Right what a joke. Do these terms mean anything any more. Seems to me the left are a bunch of extreme right wing assholes. We should first ask the left which hierarchies they hold self-evident if an honest discussion is to be had. Beliefs are one thing, what actually works out in practice is often quiet another.

Take my post as being neither left nor right. (Politics these days are a joke anyway) I hope your not implying that because I question, that makes me right-wing because your post could be interpreted that way.

OK, if you don't know what they mean:
Quote:
Right-wing politics is generally defined by support of the view that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics, authority or tradition.[4]: 693, 721 [5][6][7][8][9] Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences[10][11] or competition in market economies
Quote:
Left-wing politics is the support of social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition of social hierarchy.[1][2][3][4] Left-wing politics typically involve a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished.[1] According to emeritus professor of economics Barry Clark, left-wing supporters "claim that human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated.
Now you know left from right.

Thank you Asante for your post and for those definitions which I think are quite well written. When I said "Left, Right what a joke. Do these terms mean anything any more." I meant in the context of modern and especially US politics, not that I don't have an idea of what left and right may mean. To clarify my political position may be best described as anarchist and since there is no such thing as right-wing anarchism (despite opinions to the contrary) I could also be described as a lefty.
In the description of Left-wing politics, those are noble ideals without doubt. But that is not what I see in the American left. Instead I see just another political institution totally compromised by money power making all those ideals fully impossible. So things are going backwards and inequality grows even during periods when the left has been in power.

I’m making an assumption. Go ahead and tell us all your political beliefs so we can clear this up.
I’m not projecting at all, either, I’m sure everyone who posts here could tell you what my political beliefs are.

Fair enough. I did however make one post that declared in a round about way that your assumption was incorrect. Assumptions are very often incorrect and because of this do not provide a good basis in debate. I figure that you of all people understands this. One can split hairs but you understand what I mean.

Maybe no conservative's care to respond to leftist crazies. I mean whats the point? Most of the leftist i know have been in the system there entire lives and know nothing else. They are either getting a free ride or work for the gov programs that manage those freeloaders. People on the right have jobs and work for a living and dont care to participant nor do we want to pay for them programs.
Get a fucking job and pay your own way threw life is what the people on the right are saying.

I'm a right winger who is happy to explain the truth to you.
The hierarchy, at the top, is composed of the intellgencia, or the thinkers that live in harmony with nature. They are the most powerful even though their ideas are often socially repugnant to the masses.
Bellow them, cultures which live in harmony with nature, like the Amish, who by sheer obedience to conservatism rather than intellectual discourse, have come to retain power.
Below them, social conservatives, who don't live in harmony with nature but do seek social harmony with regards to the nuclear family, also usually retaining strength through religions adherence.
Below them, people whose worldview is neither harmonious with nature nor conducive to the harmony of the nuclear family, anarchists.

There is talk that is surprisingly like full-on socialism in the Dem party and an talk of full on ethnic cleansing fascism in the Rep party., but factually the actual policies the parties put out are all in the upper right quadrant of the political compass, and not that far apart either.

That I agree with, but I’m not sure either are to the right of the embodiment of fascism: Adolf Hitler.

A comma after the word clarify and perhaps "may be best described as anarchist" being underlined may be an improvement but I take this to have been adequate to answer your question on a basic level.
You want more nuance ? Among anarchists I like. Robert Anton Wilson - all his stuff excellent. Hakim Bey aka Peter Lamborn Wilson - Like the majority of his work. Bob Black's Essay "The Abolition of work" - cool These guys are well known American anarchists. Noam Chomsky - Although I think some of his work is OK, I'm not too keen on him, He's spent far too much time locked into the institution of academia.
Main thought to take away is that Anarchism is against all forms of oppression.

Interesting description, but not an explanation…and, frankly, after 60+ years of following US politics/political demographic shifts (and having been all over the spectrum myself), I don’t think it stacks up at all: ‘intelligentsia’ of the ‘right’ being most powerful & in harmony w/ nature, for example.
Some representative examples from each identified slice would be very helpful in following your train of thought.

Basically, the truth will rule the day, and right wingers are more down to earth.
Let me explain it: the more sustainable a culture is, the more powerful they will be and the more intelligent they are, the more influence they will have.
Leftwingers are not only bitches, they don't reproduce, therefore they don't have the future, they're very ideologically disorganized, they are driven by the whims of human sentiment and are thereforevery wasteful...the only thing they have going for them is environmentalism, which is why some are at the top of the hierarchy.

Do you consider the alt right cult around Trump "down to earth"?
Do you consider the Jan 6 insurrection "down to earth"?
If you do "down to earth" to you means "sunk to a new low" and not "more in touch with the factual state of things"

But there are no (to my knowledge) fiscal conservatives on your list. I don't know Alan Rockefeller's that well, but I don't think he had much in common with the other Rockefeller's. But he did pick a great Shroomery name.

The hierarchy, at the top, is composed of the intellgencia, or the thinkers that live in harmony with nature. They are the most powerful even though their ideas are often socially repugnant to the masses.
Bellow them, cultures which live in harmony with nature, like the Amish, who by sheer obedience to conservatism rather than intellectual discourse, have come to retain power.
Below them, social conservatives, who don't live in harmony with nature but do seek social harmony with regards to the nuclear family, also usually retaining strength through religions adherence.
Below them, people whose worldview is neither harmonious with nature nor conducive to the harmony of the nuclear family, anarchists.

Holy shit. Thank god the truth explainer has logged on to dispense wisdom from on high, lmao.

Environmentalism is a liberal phenomenon, only because Christianity has subverted the culture, but as Christianity comes down, you'll see more right-wing environmentalists.

Leftwingers are not only bitches, they don't reproduce, therefore they don't have the future, they're very ideologically disorganized, they are driven by the whims of human sentiment and are thereforevery wasteful...the only thing they have going for them is environmentalism, which is why some are at the top of the hierarchy.
i think both sides have there super chill people an the crazy fucks. Im more right wing but there are things on the left i do agree with not one side is better than the other.

Christianity is inherently environmentalist.
God has given us the earth with the expectation that we will be good stewards of the earth and all that lives upon it.
Liberals sell plastic wristbands that show that you planted a tree and conservatives work to abolish all industrial emission limits and return to coal. Next stop is putting the lead back in gasoline to increase the Republican voter base.

Holy shit this is the funniest thing I have ever heard.
After-Post Edit: I do not intend to denigrate the influence that religious beliefs can have on environmental policy. But if you look at history, American Christians were environmental until, I want to say the 70s?

Not the other way around. I will try to find proof for this later. Maybe.
I was beginning to think Hartford was a relatively smart guy on the forums, but dang this is Looney Tunes level. 
Modern industrialisation has created a system that will ALWAYS be cheaper if the maker is less environmentally friendly.
Burning fuel for electricity? To filter it or to not? Costs a shitload to do so... Cue Republican rhetoric about regulation increasing costs.... And Republicans are not environmentally friendly.
Making pharmaceuticals? Always cheaper to dump the waste into the ocean than create regulation that remediates those poisons.... And cue the talk or regulation. Republicans are not environmentally friendly.
Recycling plastic and other shit? Cheaper to throw the aluminum away until the cost of aluminum/plastic/etc increases enough to incentivize us to do so. Until then.... The landfill it is! Wait... What states have the tax on cans that is given back when you recycle them? Oh right... Not Republican ones.
My final after-post edit: (((We can keep going forever, too! When you change your own oil, is it easier to dump the oil right there in your yard/sink/etc, or make another trip back to the parts store to recycle it?

Pretty sure capitalism (the idea to produce as much as possible on a planet with finite resources) is what’s holding back environmentalism, and not the religious doctrine based on the idea that man has dominion over the planet and has a duty to defend/protect it.

Christians see God's command to fill the earth and subdue it as a spiritual commission to spead the gospel, which says that the Antichrist will take over and the apocalypse will ruin the earth. Not much incentive to clean things up.

I don’t think many Christians believed in a literal version of Revelations after, say, the Industrial Revolution. Point taken though.

I am a Christian and am pretty much, regrettably, entirely surrounded(in my social group) by people who are lifetime Republicans that voted Trump. I know this firsthand.. Unfortunately that is the above quoted line is one that I've heard parroted several times. Problem is it is just that, parroting what they heard.
Do a small bit of research on how American Christians have interacted with politics in the last 50 years.
Just a bit of research to verify or validate your opinions would show that, while that argument seems persuasive, it is no different than the previous Biblical argument used: God created. The Earth and specifically instructed us to steward and care for the earth.
And then you can easily see, as the Bible says, people are simply sheep. Has nothing to do with Christianity, per se, but more to do with the Nature of Humanity and how easily persuaded we are.
And understanding how and when that happened in the USA will show what I have already said:
Republican Propaganda/The Republican Party swallowed American Christianity and it's perspective on environmentalismNOT the other way around.
But none of that has any relevance to this stand-alone argument, that super surprisingly, was completely ignored:
(Not Capitalism per se, IMO, as Ecstatic said) Industrialism without proper and appropriate regulation ALWAYS(or 95-99% or whatever) makes it cheaper to produce products that directly harms the environment, rather than spend money remediate the waste/recycle/etc.
But as we know, you can't reason someone out of a conclusion they didn't reason themselvea into.

At this point, it's becoming cheaper to be environmentally friendly. The US government heavily subsidizes oil to ensure that it is competitive with renewable alternatives.
Similarly, industrial dumping is becoming more expensive than reselling waste as feedstock for other industrial processes. One man's waste is another man's treasure is becoming much more true. Literally all the way down to shit. Due to the demand for fertilizer, sewage services can often turn a profit selling human shit.

There are wacky nutcases on both sides of the aisle, but I've never heard any of my conservative voting friends speak of any notion like this. As a teenager, it was my liberal Christain friends who insisted that Ronald Wilson Reagan (666) was the Antichrist and that the apocalypse was very close at hand.
For decades the Democrats have been saying the end of the world is near. They love gloom and doom!

Care to elaborate where in the USA that is happening with plastic?
That certainly naturally happens in many markets but I don't see how that could do what is necessary without constantly evolving regulation... Of which the Right is pretty much constantly shitting on.
These incentive system exist because the government creates them in the first place. Therefore it only makes sense that the government can and must change the rules within them.
Edits for clarity.. Also i said the left is constantly shitting on regulation. Hopefully it was obvious the only party shitting on regulation non-stop is the Right.

You are absolutely correct that regulation is still the primary driver of innovation in many industries. But not all.

Plastic still seems to be the largest waste resource we are creating that is quite obviously not renewable... At least in the good ol USA...
That was the only reason I used it.. Widespread and obvious.
I figured we'd end up agreeing in the end. I was simply misunderstanding your intent.
Listen, I hope to God the market solves nearly all problems. Government is a much less efficient solution. I don't think anyone on the Left or Right would disagree with that.

Gov't is generally less efficient at directing resources to the people with the most money to spend than markets but I think it's less clear as to whether or not that outcome is desirable.

Agreed.
Hence why I would love if the market could solve all problems.. But the reality is that the incentive systems of the market don't always align... And can often be quite contradictory.
I.e. slavery. Not a solution the market ever could solve... Because it doesn't have a "moral eye".
And I think one of the major differences between the left and the right at this point are admitting the limitations of the market.. Then the Right nearly worshipping the Market.

Neither Adam Smith's mechanisms of the market or Karl Marx's predictions of where those failures would lead to is playing out. The Keynesian toolkit worked OK in the Depression but not later. Our system can't even make a small dent in the ever increasing concentration of wealth at the top. We have a tournament, winner take all, economic system and somehow a majority is buying into it.

Hmm. I guess I haven't read all of Marx, but didn't he say that we'd have a large class of underemployed people perpetually living in poverty, used as a threat against the employed but underpaid, while a few individuals collected dynastic wealth?

Marx didn't concentrate or think favorably about the lowest rung that he called the lumpen proletariat. He thought they were a negative force in achieving socialism. The agent of change was the perpetually employed proletariat who would become class conscious and then organize in their class interest.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpenproletariat
Your remarks made sense, but I think fit better with non-Marxist economic theory.

I mean, we have that, just not exactly in the same sense that Marx predicted. Partly due to the conflation of social and economic classes. Partly because Marx did not accurately predict racial relations in the US.
If we get rid of all nonwhite people, then the lumpenproletariat (and the lowest rung) will largely consist of rural white folk, who are conveniently the biggest defenders of capitalism right now. Well. Sort of. They talk a lot about the failures of capitalism, but they vote pretty consistently in favor of exploitation.
Something about convincing the lowest white man they're better than the black man and picking their pockets comes to mind. It's the same thing, just that capitalism has evolved to add a socially-enforced class of economic cannon fodder to protect the lower flank. Which is running out.
